Guest Designer

In December, when Brenda told me that I've been selected to be the Guest Designer of February for Stampalot Challenge, I was so thrilled, excited and speechless with this opportunity!

I was asked to design a card with the theme "In the Garden". Instead of making a card, I can't resist making two cards by using the same stamp!

For this theme, I used PB Lace Edged to create a tri-fold card. The image is stamped with distress ink Festive Berries and heat embossed with clear powder. I also did a little bit of masking here so that the image covers the length of the card.

As for the second card, I stamped the background in light pink on a kraft which gives a very special effect on the card - a little silky look!

The middle panel is stamped with HA Manuscript and heat embossed with white powder. The PB stamped is also heat embossed in white powder and I cut part of the flower to attach on the manuscript.

Congrats on your guest designer gig!! So exciting Lai-Yoke!:) Love how you cut around the stamped image on the first to create a unique card front and on the second I love that subtle bg stamping- beautiful!!

Two beautiful cards for your very well-deserved Guest Designer spot. Very creative to get such different looks from the same stamp. Love the cut out image on the first one, and the second, as Brenda says, is just so elegant.

Oh many many congrats Lai-Yoke, hopefully this will open a door to becoming a permanent DT, I started slow! Your cards are wonderful, Red and White is always a beautiful combination, and your second is more subtle yet a great design.I am so pleased for you.Brenda did good in choosing your work, I will pop over now and give them a visit.Smiles:)
